Chapter 6: Advanced Features and Production Considerations

In this final chapter, we'll explore advanced c77_rbac features, bulk operations, web integration patterns, monitoring, and production deployment strategies.

Step 1: Bulk Operations and User Management

Let's explore the powerful bulk operations for managing large numbers of users:

-- Example 1: New department with multiple employees
INSERT INTO departments (name, code, description, budget) VALUES
('Customer Success', 'CS', 'Customer support and success', 750000.00);

INSERT INTO users (id, email, first_name, last_name, department_id, employee_type, salary) VALUES
(601, 'olivia.cs@techcorp.com', 'Olivia', 'Johnson', 6, 'manager', 95000.00),
(602, 'peter.support@techcorp.com', 'Peter', 'Davis', 6, 'employee', 55000.00),
(603, 'quinn.support@techcorp.com', 'Quinn', 'Wilson', 6, 'employee', 58000.00),
(604, 'rachel.support@techcorp.com', 'Rachel', 'Brown', 6, 'employee', 52000.00),
(605, 'sam.support@techcorp.com', 'Sam', 'Taylor', 6, 'employee', 54000.00);

-- Update department manager
UPDATE departments SET manager_id = 601 WHERE code = 'CS';

-- Define customer success features
SELECT public.c77_rbac_grant_feature('cs_manager', 'manage_customer_accounts');
SELECT public.c77_rbac_grant_feature('cs_manager', 'view_customer_data');
SELECT public.c77_rbac_grant_feature('cs_manager', 'escalate_issues');

SELECT public.c77_rbac_grant_feature('cs_agent', 'view_assigned_customers');
SELECT public.c77_rbac_grant_feature('cs_agent', 'update_customer_status');
SELECT public.c77_rbac_grant_feature('cs_agent', 'create_support_tickets');

-- Bulk assign roles to new CS team
SELECT 'Bulk assigning CS team roles:' as operation;
SELECT * FROM public.c77_rbac_bulk_assign_subjects(
    ARRAY['602', '603', '604', '605'],
    'employee',
    'department',
    'CS'
);

-- Assign CS-specific roles
SELECT * FROM public.c77_rbac_bulk_assign_subjects(
    ARRAY['602', '603', '604', '605'],
    'cs_agent',
    'department',
    'CS'
);

-- Assign manager role
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('601', 'dept_manager', 'department', 'CS');
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('601', 'cs_manager', 'department', 'CS');

Step 2: Advanced Role Management Scenarios

Let's explore sophisticated role management patterns:

-- Scenario 1: Temporary project access for external consultant
INSERT INTO users (id, email, first_name, last_name, department_id, employee_type, salary) VALUES
(701, 'consultant@external.com', 'Alex', 'Consultant', 1, 'contractor', 150.00); -- hourly rate

-- Grant temporary access to specific project
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('701', 'project_member', 'project', '1');
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('701', 'contractor', 'department', 'ENG');

-- Scenario 2: Cross-department project requiring special permissions
INSERT INTO projects (name, description, department_id, project_manager_id, status, budget) VALUES
('Company-wide Security Audit', 'Security review across all departments', 1, 101, 'active', 200000.00);

-- Grant cross-department access for this special project (assuming project ID 6)
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('301', 'project_member', 'project', '6'); -- HR manager
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('401', 'project_member', 'project', '6'); -- Finance manager
SELECT public.c77_rbac_assign_subject('201', 'project_member', 'project', '6'); -- Sales manager

-- Scenario 3: Role transitions (promotions/department changes)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION handle_user_promotion(
    p_user_id TEXT,
    p_old_role TEXT,
    p_new_role TEXT,
    p_scope_type TEXT,
    p_scope_id TEXT
) RETURNS TEXT LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
DECLARE
    v_result TEXT;
BEGIN
    -- Remove old role
    PERFORM public.c77_rbac_revoke_subject_role(p_user_id, p_old_role, p_scope_type, p_scope_id);
    
    -- Assign new role
    PERFORM public.c77_rbac_assign_subject(p_user_id, p_new_role, p_scope_type, p_scope_id);
    
    -- Log the transition
    INSERT INTO audit_log (user_id, action, new_values) VALUES
    (p_user_id::integer, 'role_promotion', 
     jsonb_build_object('old_role', p_old_role, 'new_role', p_new_role, 'scope', p_scope_type || '/' || p_scope_id));
    
    v_result := format('Promoted user %s from %s to %s in scope %s/%s', 
                       p_user_id, p_old_role, p_new_role, p_scope_type, p_scope_id);
    
    RETURN v_result;
END;
$$;

-- Example: Promote Dave to senior developer
SELECT handle_user_promotion('103', 'employee', 'senior_developer', 'department', 'ENG');

Step 3: Web Application Integration Patterns

Let's create realistic web application integration examples:

-- Create functions that simulate web application API endpoints
-- These show how your application would query data with RBAC

-- Function: Get user dashboard data
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_user_dashboard(p_user_id TEXT)
RETURNS JSONB LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER AS $$
DECLARE
    v_result JSONB;
BEGIN
    -- Set user context
    PERFORM set_config('c77_rbac.external_id', p_user_id, true);
    
    -- Build dashboard data structure
    SELECT jsonb_build_object(
        'user_info', (
            SELECT jsonb_build_object(

                'department', d.name,
                'employee_type', u.employee_type
            )
            FROM users u
            JOIN departments d ON u.department_id = d.id

                    'assigned_at', assigned_at
                )
            )
            FROM public.c77_rbac_get_user_roles(p_user_id)

Step 4: Test Web Application Integration

Let's test our web application integration functions:

-- Test different user dashboards
SELECT 'Alice (Admin) Dashboard:' as test;
SELECT get_user_dashboard('1');

SELECT 'Bob (Eng Manager) Dashboard:' as test;
SELECT get_user_dashboard('101');

SELECT 'Carol (Developer) Dashboard:' as test;
SELECT get_user_dashboard('102');

SELECT 'Iris (HR Manager) Dashboard:' as test;
SELECT get_user_dashboard('301');

-- Test permission checking for web actions
SELECT 'Web Action Permission Tests:' as test;

-- Can Bob edit the Customer Portal project?
SELECT can_user_perform_action('101', 'edit_project', 'project', '1');

-- Can Carol approve expenses?
SELECT can_user_perform_action('102', 'approve_expense', 'expense', '1');

-- Can Iris view user profiles?
SELECT can_user_perform_action('301', 'view_user', 'user', '102');

-- Can Kelly approve large expenses?
SELECT can_user_perform_action('401', 'approve_expense', 'expense', '1');

-- Test paginated data retrieval
SELECT 'Paginated Data Retrieval Tests:' as test;

-- Alice gets paginated user list
SELECT get_filtered_data('1', 'users', '{}', 1, 5);

-- Bob gets his visible projects
SELECT get_filtered_data('101', 'documents', '{}', 1, 10);

-- Kelly gets expense data
SELECT get_filtered_data('401', 'expenses', '{}', 1, 5);

Step 5: Monitoring and Maintenance

Let's set up comprehensive monitoring for our RBAC system:

-- Create system health monitoring
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION rbac_system_health_check()
RETURNS TABLE(
    check_category TEXT,
    check_name TEXT,
